One week later Jenny and Jethro were lying on the floor of their temporary room. If everything went according to plan their apartment would be ready by Christmas. Jethro couldn't wait to move into the apartment downstairs. It would have everything they needed a full bath, living room, kitchen area, Jethro's existing bedroom, and a nursery. The two teens were looking up at the glow in the dark star stickers that Ann Gibbs had put up there when they were in first grade. Their class was having a camp out on the lawn of the school. Of all the kids Jenny and Jethro were the most excited. At the time Jenny was really into astronomy and Jethro just liked being outdoors. Unfortunately both of them came down with chicken pox the day of the big camp-out. Thinking Jenny would be gone for the night her grandparents had decided to make a trip to Philadelphia. Naturally Ann and Jackson allowed Jenny to stay with them that night instead. Since Jethro was their only child at the time and he was already sick there was nobody to worry about infecting. In her feverish state Jenny had cried for hours over missing out on sleeping under the stars. Until Ann called Jack at the store and had him bring home a pack of glow in the dark stars. They had stopped glowing years ago and several had fallen off the ceiling. Jethro had saved every one that had fallen and given them to Jenny. Anybody else would just throw them away but even after all these years they meant the world to her.

"I can't believe there are still some of those up there." Jethro commented.

"I know isn't it amazing?" Jenny asked.

"It is." Jethro replied.

"Remember when your mom put those up here for us?" Jenny asked.

"First grade when we had chicken pox." Jethro commented.

"We should get some of these for the nursery." Jenny suggested.

"That would be cute." Jethro replied.

"Maybe we could put a couple up in our room." Jenny joked.

"Kinky" Jethro giggled.

"Jethro!" Jenny cried.

"If you really want them I will personally put them up." Jethro replied.

"You are too good to me." Jenny cooed.

"I know but I got extra lucky with you." Jethro explained.

"No I got extra lucky with you. I mean you didn't even freak out when I told you I was pregnant. Most guys would just bail." Jenny explained.

"To be honest I thought about that but my dad would have killed me." Jethro replied.

"Oh so if it weren't for your dad making you. You would have left me?" Jenny demanded.

"Well Jen I was really upset." Jethro replied.

"And you think that I was fine?!" Jenny demanded.

"I didn't say you weren't I just." Jethro argued.

"You are a child! I hate you!" Jenny snapped.

"I know you don't mean that. It's just the hormones." Jethro replied.

"Oh yeah because every time a pregnant woman is upset its hormones!" Jenny snapped.

"No Jen I." Jethro replied.

"I am staying with Linda! We are done here!" Jenny cried jumping up and storming out of the room.

Jethro lay on his bed facing away from the door. He could not believe that he had blown it with Jenny. He loved her so much one wrong word and she was gone. She may never come back. He may never even get to meet his baby. Then again his parents had fought and nearly broken up a few times. One time his mom had taken him to her parents house for a whole month. That had happened when he was three or four. Even after him and his mom moved back in it was months before things were back to normal. Almost a year later he was the ring bearer at his parents second wedding. He must have been four when the breakup happened because Jenny was at the wedding. Her remembered how pretty she looked in her white dress with the pink floral pattern. If he had a little girl he would dress her in outfits like that. If it was a little boy he would dress him in tiny jersey's and a kiddie sized NCIS shirt. He may even get a custom child's size uniform made. If he even got to see his child that is. The sun was starting to set. When he heard footsteps approach his room and groaned thinking it was Tony asking for dinner. All three younger kids had pounded on his door. Abby wanted to know why they were fighting, Timmy wanted to go to his friend's house to work on the book they were writing, and Tony wanted to know if Jethro wanted to watch the Magnum marathon he DVR'd with him.

"Make your own dinner or wait for dad or Darla!" Jethro groaned when he heard the door open.

"Actually Leroy I was coming to say that Darla and I both had rough days so we are going to the diner for dinner." Jackson explained.

"The diner?" Jethro asked.

"Yes I thought it was your favorite." Jackson replied.

"I'm just not very hungry." Jethro lied.

"You are always hungry are you OK?" Jackson asked.

"I just had a bad day too." Jethro replied.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Jack offered.

"Not really." Jethro replied.

"Well since most of the Gibbs family had a bad day. Maybe after Jenny gets off we can go and get Ice-Cream at the Malt Shop." Jack suggested.

"Jenny isn't coming home." Jethro replied.

"What happened? Is she OK?" Jack asked.

"We had a fight" Jethro replied.

"Over what?" Jack asked.

"I said something stupid and she freaked out." Jethro explained.

"Would you like to tell me what you said?" Jack asked.

"No" Jethro replied.

"Alright" Jack replied.

"Will she ever come back?" Jethro asked.

"I am sure she will. This is a very emotional time for her." Jack explained.

"Don't tell her that." Jethro sighed.

"Did you?" Jack asked.

"Yeah" Jethro replied.

"Look don't tell this to her but she is very hormonal. That may not be why she is mad but it maybe why she got as upset as she did. She has a human growing inside her. A human that as of right now cannot survive outside of her body. Something she has to nourish and still care for herself. One mistake or wrong step and that life is over. It is a very stressful time." Jack explained.

"I never saw it like that before." Jethro admitted.

"That's how your grandma explained it to me when your mom was pregnant with you." Jack replied.

"She was a wise woman." Jethro replied.

"She was. Now come on we will get pizza for dinner instead and I will let you and Jen sleep the fight off tonight but you are apologizing tomorrow." Jack explained.
